The compressor is the pump that circulates refrigerant around the sealed system. Without it, neither compartment will cool.
Compressor Replacement Cost
| Brand type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Budget brand (Beko, Indesit) | £150–£250 |
| Mid-range (Hotpoint, AEG) | £200–£320 |
| Premium (Bosch, Samsung, Miele) | £280–£450 |
| American fridge freezer | £300–£500 |
Is It Worth Repairing?
Compressor replacement is worth it if the machine is under 7 years old and the repair cost is less than 50% of a new equivalent. On budget machines over 8 years old, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
